New function: sequential data in the TemSe

Description

Sequential datasets that are created in payroll and used in evaluations will in future be stored in the TemSe file (Temporary Sequential Objects).

The advantages of this are as follows:

• These sequential datasets can be maintained within the SAP system.

• Different types of access authorization may be assigned (Write, Read, Delete).

• Greater system dependability: evaluations will only run with the relevant datasets, otherwise an error message appears.

• F4 Help function on the evaluation report selection screen: this will only display datasets for the evaluation report in question.

Installation information

Before going productive, you need to set up a number range for the the number range object RP_TEMSE. To do this, you start report RPUTSN00. Number ranges must be set up up per client.

System administration changes

Access to the TemSe is controlled by the authorization object S_TMS_ACT. The generic name of a TemSe object may be used in authorizations. HR objects in the TemSe, for example, all start with HR_... (see documentation on HR Temse object). The naming convention for HR objects in the TemSe is described in the documentation on object identifier.

Changes to the interface

You now enter the name of the TemSe object in the HR report selection screens which evaluate the sequential datasets. There is a special F4 Help function for the TemSe objects.

Changes in procedure

There are different procedures for online and batch reports.

• Online processing:
  To prevent old datasets from being overwritten, each dataset is
  is given a consecutive object number.
  

• Batch processing:
  If the report creating the dataset is a batch job, it is not
  given a consecutive object number. Old
  datasets with the same object name are overwritten. You
  may, however, replace the object number with any
  character string you like (see documentation on
  object number). This allows you to
  start payroll as a batch job more than once without over-
  writing the previously created dataset each time.

Further notes

Run report RPUTSV00 to list all the HR objects in the TemSe.
